Describe a hypothetical ancestor (HA) Mollusc

aquatic, eucoelomate, protostome with a shell secreted by a mantle which covers the visceral mass

The broad and flat, ventral foot is for what is HA?

Movement over hard substrates.

The head of the HA mollusc contains what

eyes and tentacles

Posteriorly, the mantle cavity encloses what in the hypothetical mollusc?

a pair of gills

file like rasping organ, the radula


Differences in class gastropoda from the HA

torsion of the viscerall mass

Result of torsion in class gastropoda?

resulting in a new position of the mantle cavity and coiling of the shell (and viscerall mass contained within it). Also loss of organs on the right side in some forms. (loss of bilateral symmetry)

Difference from HA in class Polyplacophora

Body is dorsoventrally flattened. Shell consists of 8 overlapping plates. Small head mantle cavity is two shallow troughs on each side of the foot. (reduced)

Differences from HA in class Bivalvia

Body is compressed, enclosed in a bivalve shell. Shell is hinged dorsally. Small head, large gills. The radula is lost. Foot is used for digging.

Differences in HA for class Cephalopoda

Foot has been divided into arms used for grasping prey. Nervous system is highly developed in concentrated anteriorly, forming a brain.

Veliger Larva

The prototroch of the trocophore larva expands and forms what?

ciliated lobes of the velum

In gastropods, torsion occurs during what stage?

veliger stage

What is an operculum?

gill cover. Saves the mollusc from water loss.

What moves the veliger larva until the foot is large enough?

The velum propels the larva

Trocophore larvae that are non motile are held where?

the gills

Trocophore larvae that are non motile transform into what?

glochidium larvae

Where may glochidium larvae be found?

parasatizing fish and feeding on their tissues before dropping off and burrowing.

In class gastropoda, what protrudes the aperture

head and foot

How can you tell if a gastropod is sinistral or dextral?

Holding the shell with the aperture facing you and apex up, if the aperture opens to the left of the axis it is sinistral. If it is right than dextral.

The terrestrial garden snail, helix sp is a member of what subclass of gastropods?

pulmonate gastropods

The garden snail, heliz sp contains what instead of gills

the mantle cavity modified into lungs

the head of the garden snail bears what?

tentacles and eyes (posterior bearing the eyes and anterior tentacles.)

Where is the pneumostome (opening of the lung) located in the garden snail?

The right side

where is the anus located in the garden snail?

near the pneumostome, posterior to the head

the anteroventral mouth in the garden snail contains what?

Radula, composed of chitinous teeth. (Graze algae from substrates)

The terrestrial african land snail, achatina, and the pond snails, Lymnaea have what kind of shell?

tall spiral

what kind of shell does the garden snail have?

flattened spire

Ramshorn snails, helisoma have what kind of shell?

flat, planispiral

Lymnaea and Helisoma are both...

aquatic and lack an operculum

Where do conches, strombus occur?

tropic seas

cone shells, conus, have modified radula that do what?

produce poison darts which are used to kill prey.

Whelks, Busycon, feed primarily on what?

other molluscs

Sea slugs or nudibranchs have what kind of symmetry?

secondary bilateral symmetry

Each valve of the bivalve shell is in what position. What attaches it?

lateral and covers each side of the animal. Both attached by the dorsal hinged ligament.

What is the umbo?

bulge near the hinged ligament that represents the origin of the valves.

Where are the siphons located in bivalves.

Ventral incurrent siphon and dorsal excurrent siphon. In some species they are encased into a single elongate siphon.

Why does the opening of the incurrent siphon have pronounced papillae projecting from it's edges.

Choosing particles to uptake.

The opening and closing of the valves in controlled by what?

the interaction of the elastic hinge ligament with the posterior and anterior adductor muscles.

In bivalves, respiratory water current which also carries food particles enters through what and then?

enters the incurrent siphon and passes through the gills where food particles are deposited. The water flow then makes a u-turn and leaves the mantle cavity through the excurrent siphon.

In bivalves, how are food particles taken up by the animal?

After deposited on the gills, food particles are transferred by ciliary action to food grooves on the free end of the gills , to labial palps, to the mouth.

How is oxygen taken up in bivalves?

by blood in the gill capillaries from incurrent flow

How is carbon dioxide eliminated by bivalve animals?

released into and passed out by the excurrent flow

What does the pericardial cavity contain? (Bivalves)

a ventricle which wraps around the intestine, which passes through the pericardial cavity.

The ventricle of bivalves receives blood from what?

membranous sac-like atria.

What is the ositum? (Bivalves)

the opening by which the atrium empties into the ventricle.

Most mollucs (except squid) have what kind of circulatory system?

open circulatory system

What makes up the bulk of the visceral mass in bivalves?

The liver and the gonad

In squids, where are the foot and head located?

they are in close proximity, projecting from the tubular muscular mantle which encloses the viscera

The foot has been modified into what in squids
